Who sits where through 200 of the 351

We still have 151 schedules to go. A few nuggets at the 200 mark. Using average the RPI of opponents as a guide:

(1) Long Beach State sits at the top with an opponents average RPI of 74.1. That's not a surprise, as former Gopher coach Dan Monson has always put together taxing schedules @ at LBSU. Gopher opponent/cupcake New Orleans is next at 79.166.

(2) Among the Power 6 conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac 12, SEC), thus far Kansas (92.363) leads the way.

(3) The Gophers sit #101 of 200 at this juncture.

(4) Mississippi State has the worst schedule (252.25) among Power 6 schools, 2nd to last among the 200 posted so far. That's embarrassing, even if you're rebuilding as the Bulldogs are.

(5) Navy (coached by former Penn State coach Ed DeChellis) is dead last with an opponents average RPI of 259.3.

On we go, as the start of practice is now about a month away. ...

You do great work SS...but I am kind of surprised this thread has close to 40,000 views. It's pretty dry. I guess there are a lot more hard cores out there than I thought! Anyway... keep it up.

Thanks for the compliment (I think). Classic use of the sandwich theory!

I certainly understand it's not for everyone, though you'd be surprised how many PM's and tips I've received from folks from other boards/blogs. It's my way of prepping for the upcoming season, I guess.

Iowa nonconference schedule (COMPLETE #218) -- 13th of 14 from B1G

For all the talk about Iowa's improved nonconference schedule, I'm not really seeing it. Yes, it's better than last season, but that's not really saying much. The Hawkeyes would be well advised to get into the winner's side of the Battle 4 Atlantis bracket. Unlike last season's B4A, there's no guarantee there'll be any quality wins available on the loser's side of the bracket.
